OXFORD. Oct. 31.-The President's national Thanksgiving proclamation was read in the Con- gregatioual church last Sunday and spoken of 8 most santly paper and about good as could req sonably be expected from President of the United States. It was remarked that mention was made in 1t of the Master. One could but wonder what he thought of the omission. Still it diff cult to see how his name could be written between the lines of the well-nigh faultlessly comp rosed proclamation It is good sermon for layman composer.
 MT. Charles J. Sperry, 7416 years of age, died on the 18th instant. This is the man who seemed to be rescued from the grave by our Dr. Lou sbury a few months ago. After becoming better apparent ly and getting out, he was suddenly taken down by
 recurrence of the dropsy and died in the greatest agony. Months before he died 1t was thought at one time he could not live two days. That he sur vived that crisis doubtless due in part to the skill of Dr. LounSbury.
 A young man here recently demonstrated that he could easily place on wagon barrel of apples. But this display of strength resulted in serious in jury ito his back and in not little excruciating pain. The stronger person the more need of dis cretion to test his strength judiciously.

This suit brought by the op- pellants against the Yale Lock company for an al legged infringement of reissued patent granted March l4, 1882, upon improvements in clock moVe- ments The Circuit court dismissed the bill upon the ground that the invention described in the first eight claims of the reissue, which are the claims al legged to have been infringed, was an invention Of which no trace was to be found in the original specification and was manifesty other and different from that which was the subject of the original patent and that the statute in regard to reissues forbids such radical transformation of patent as was attempted in this case.
